I have to agree with John. Since the calls to the server are being made
by the ChartFx controls, and you say these request are not seeing your
client configuration for proxy servers, then it is very likely that there
is no code you can add to your own application to make this work. The
exception case, and I would anticipate there to be this case, would be a
property on the chartFx controls that you can set from your client-side
load code to use a proxy.

Is there some reason that your clients need to use a proxy for internal
addresses? very often proxy settings bypass the proxy for local IP
addresses. I suppose that in some environments, the business wants to be
able to monitor every page every user goes to. <brrrrrr>

SoftwareFX have not responded (yet).
I'm halfway there, but have not been able to simulate a Request from a
ChartFX client object. So not there at all, I guess.

Thank you and have a nice weekend...
